I'm so sorry it took quite long before I posted this chapter. I originally was going to break it into 2 or 3 chapters, but let's keep it short. I'm posting it all one shot.
I don't own Class of the Titans.
As they came in, they saw a woman dancing. She stopped and looked at them.
"Hello kids. I'm Terpsichore. Your challenge is to dance the best you can." She told them and Neil eyes were shinning.
"Just that?" Neil asked and she nodded. He cracked his fists. "Leave that to me!"
"Go ahead Neil. This one is for you." Theresa said as she sat in the floor with the others.
Neil wait and the muse started the music. Neil's body followed the rhythm and went to his limit, determined to win that challenge. After 4 minutes, the music stopped and he fell on the floor. Terpsichore laughed and lowered herself next to Neil.
"Wow! That was beautiful. Are you okay?" She asked as she gave to him a bottle of water. He sat and nodded. He drank almost half of the bottle one shot. "Good news! You can go to the next challenge. I'm not sure though if I can let you walk…"
Herry came closer to them and placed Neil on his back. "Don't worry. I'll take care of him." Herry said with a smile and the muse smiled. They left the room.
When they opened the door, they heard a big laugh.
"I'm pretty sure we'll have to do the challenge of the muse of comedy." Archie said as they went closer to a blond hair woman. She was crying in laugh and had in her hand a happy mask. She stopped and looked at them.
"Hello kids! I'm Thalia." She told to them and Archie sighed.
"I was right. The muse of comedy." Archie said and she nodded.
"Your challenge is to make me laugh." She took a breath and her face was serious. Herry left Neil's legs to cross his arms and Neil, who had also his arms crossed over his chest, fell on the floor, on his butt.
"Ow! Herry!" Neil whined and Herry quickly looked behind him. They all looked and saw Neil trying to rise. Archie and Atlanta helped him to stand up. Odie noticed Talia began to smile.
"Uh, Herry, I think you're perfect to make her laugh." Odie said to him, pointing the muse. Herry looked at the muse and nodded. He made many jokes; many acrobatics and he tried to don't hurt himself. After 5 minutes, Thalia laughed and signed him to stop.
"Funny, so funny. You're comedy gold. You didn't hurt yourself, right?" She asked and he shook his head. "So, I think Urania is waiting for you."
"Wait! You mean we just need to win the next challenge to see Mnemosyne?" Atlanta asked and the muse nodded.
"Yup! Good luck!" She told them with a big smile. She pointed the door and they ran to it.
They all gasped as they opened the door. All the others rooms were with the walls in drapes, but this room were like a planetarium. They had the impression to be walking in space since everything was black and full of stars. They saw a black hair woman in a grey dress. She had in her hand a sphere of stars.
"Congratulation young heroes! I'm your last challenge. My name is Urania and I'll show to you a total of three constellations. Your challenge is to tell me which they are." She told them and they nodded. She moved her arm, making appeared a constellation.
"It's Orion!" Atlanta yelled, quickly recognized Artemis' old lover. The muse nodded and moved her arm again.
" Looks like Perseus!" Archie said and the muse nodded. She moved her arm again.
"Err, what's this one? Fish?" Neil tried, but Urania shook her head.
" Wrong answer." Urania said and they thought about it.
"Where is Jay when you need it. Is it the lynx?" Theresa asked, but the muse shook her head again.
"Last chance." She told them and some of the heroes began to be nervous. Odie looked carefully at the constellation and gasped in realisation.
"I know! It's the dragon!" Odie said and he looked at the muse. She had a sad smile.
"I'm sorry. You're not going to see mom before a long moment…" She told them. They groaned and looked sad. "Kidding, YOU WIN!"
They jumped and screamed in happiness. Urania smiled and raised her sphere of stars. Her sphere let out a ray and a door appeared.
"That's your last door. You can go. Sorry again for the scare, I couldn't hold it back." She told them and they signed her she was forgiven. They ran to their last door, ready to see Mnemosyne.
When they opened the door, they were in a tower and saw Mnemosyne with Cronus. The two gods were surprise to see them.
"You! How-" Mnemosyne quickly shut her brother and looked at the young heroes, giving them by look the right to speak.
"Sorry to distribute you, dear Mnemosyne, but we do the challenge of the 9 muses to see you." Theresa said with a low bow and the goddess smiled.
"You win against all my daughters?" She asked and they nodded. The heroes then looked at Cronus with a smirk.
"Oh! By the way Cronus. You skipped your nieces. They are angry and want to kick your ass." Herry said and Mnemosyne looked her brother, an eyebrow rose, annoyed.
"Cronus? Did you really skip their challenge?" She asked in a mad voice. Cronus stepped back and, before he could escape by a portal, Mnemosyne snapped her finger and he disappeared in a puff of cloud. She took a breath to calm down.
"Where is he?" Neil asked. She looked them and smiled. The heroes thought she looked like her mother a lot, not only physically, but quite mentally too.
"With all my 9 daughters, in a room where he can't escape. What do you want, young heroes?" She asked as she went to her table to sit on a chair.
"Our friend got amnesia. We weren't sure you were the cause, but now that we saw Cronus... Long story short, can you bring back Jay's memories?" Odie asked and she showed to them a blue-black globe she had on the table.
"This? Yes I can. You were right, Cronus did asked me to take his memories, so he could watch them." She told them and they turned livid. The goddess chuckled. "Oh, don't worry. I didn't show him a thing. His temper was getting on my nerves. But, I guess it's the time these got back to their owner.''
She took in her hand the globe in her hands and she went to the window. She whispered softly in Greek to the globe and it disappeared.
"Did it work?" Atlanta asked and Mnemosyne smiled.
"You'll see that by yourself. It's pretty late, at your age you should be in bed at this hour, don't you think?" She said before she snapped her fingers and they disappeared. They appeared in Hermes' room. Hera was with him and the two gods jumped in surprise as they saw them.
"Oh, I'm glad to see you fine. Did you win?" Hera asked and they nodded. Some of them yawned and rubbed their eyes. Hermes chuckled, seeing how tired they looked like.
"I think you should go to sleep. Tell us in details tomorrow." Hermes said and they nodded. They left the school to the dorm. They came inside the dorm and saw Athena, waiting for them, arms crossed on her chest, looking mad.
"I hate so much when people said nothing to me. Why didn't you warn me?" She asked and her glare softer quickly when she saw the heroes were exhausted.
"Sorry Athena, but can we talk about that tomorrow? We're all tired." Archie said and she nodded. They went to their room.
"Gods! I can't feel my legs!" Neil whined as he tried to go in his room. Theresa was exhausted and she was too tired to change to her pyjamas. She just crashed on her bed. She was starting to fall asleep when she heard her door opened. She felt someone climb her bed. She was to give a hit, even though she had no energy, but the shadow quickly caught her arms.
"Phew! That was close. Lucky for me, you're exhausted." She quickly recognized the voice. She relaxed enough to have her arms free. In the dark, she was glaring at him.
"Jay! What was your idea? You realised I was closer to beat you down?!" She told him, quite mad. He looked sorry.
"Yeah, I know. Sorry. I didn't want to scare you. I just wanted to thank you." He confessed and she looked at him interrogatively.
"Thanks me? Why?" She asked, rubbing her head. They both sat up on her bed. She could see in the dark he was smiling.
"I remember Theresa. I remember all. I don't have amnesia anymore." He told her and she gasped in joy.
"Really? Oh, thanks the gods." She hugged him and cried. He hugged her back.
"I'm sorry." He whispered in her ear. She broke the hug and looked at him.
"Why are you sorry?" She asked and he sighed.
"Because I worried you and I know I made you cry." He said and he took her face in his hands. "I'm so sorry."
"Don't worry. It wasn't your fault." She told him, placing her hands over his. She kissed him and he kissed her back. She then laughed without warning and he pulled back.
"What's so funny?" He asked, an eyebrow raised.
"I can't imagine Cronus doing all the challenge of the muses. Can you imagine him singing or dancing?"
Personnally, I can imagine Cronos doing that and I'm laughing, it's way too funny. I really hope you liked that story. Again, sorry it took so long to post the end of it.
